A toast to the exes. Because sometimes the wrong relationships teach you exactly what you deserve from the right one.

On this week’s Mini Monday, Tanya Eklund gets real about dating, the men who came before her husband, the lessons she learned along the way, and the moments that taught her to stand up for herself and never settle for less than respect.

Some were great. Some were questionable. And all of them were part of the story.

Keep dating. Keep learning. Keep growing. You never know who’s waiting around the corner.

Listen to this week’s Mini Monday with Tanya Eklund.
